Introduction

This knowledge area requires you to understand six

processes, as described in the book PMP®

plan scope management, collect requirements, define

scope, create WBS, Validate scope, and control scope.

This chapter covers the scope topics that most people

have trouble with. However, if you understand basic

project management and work breakdown structures,

this area shouldn’t be difficult.
